Jared Treasures

A little exercise in observation.On the right, a watercolor version of my little jar of treasures.A little branch piece covered in yellow lichen from Sweden, pebbles, seeds and tiny shells from Argentina, feathers & some sprigs from Canada,and a couple of pretty red beans from yesterday's morning walk with Turbo.Don't know why but I just *love* little things displayed in glass jars.

Wow, at first sight I didn't notice the difference. Which keeps me wondering, do you first take a picture and draw from the picture or do you draw from the actual object (the jar) and then try to take a picture form the exact same angle?

As always your work is amazing! Every time I stop by your blog there is some lovely creation to see. These jars are like little treasure troves to remind us just how wonderful mother nature is. Thank you for sharing it with us.

You are amazingly talented! Your blog is very inspiring, I love your birdies!!! I have been lurking around your blog for some time and finally decided to comment. May I ask if you use glass paints to paint on jars? Lately I have seen *pens* from Pebeo for glass painting, I thought they might work for finer details....hope you don't mind answering. Keep inspiring us!!!
